Quoth Cupid, "No more capers! Well, I have had my fling; I see by all the papers, Disarmament's the thing. "The world is tired of tooting, And tired of war's alarms; The world gives up its shooting, The world lays down its arms. "The thought my spirit harrows, -- But I'm a patriot, so, I'm going to scrap my arrows, I'm going to junk my bow. "And when I drop the curtain, -- When all my tactics cease, -- Of one thing I am certain, Some people will have peace!" | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HOW MANY NIGHTS by GALWAY KINNELL THE MOTTO by LOUISA SARAH BEVINGTON THE TRUE BEATITUDE by RUPERT BROOKE MAKING PEACE by DENISE LEVERTOV TWO SONGS OF PEACE: 1 by YEHUDA AMICHAI |
